The Story

Ferdz Valencia is an artist, skater, skateboard graphics designer who designs boards for Muckefuck skateboards, Black Label, and Calle under his own outfit Grudgebait designs. A husband to Lai and a father to two daughters, he suffered a stroke last December 9, 2016 which left him unconscious. Although his condition has greatly improved since his second operation last January, his neuro system still hasn’t gone back to normal. Since his confinement from last December, he has accumulated an astounding amount of medical bills which family and friends are struggling to pay for. We would like to enjoin your support in helping him recover from this very untimely incident so he can come back to doing more art and to see his daughters grow up. He is only 39 years old and we’d like to believe that there is hope. Let him and his family feel this hope through any amount you’d like to donate for this cause.

All proceeds will go directly to the payment of his hospital bills and to palliative treatment and therapy to his slow but sure recovery and gainful consciousness.

We appreciate very much all the help that poured in for his benefit. Donations are still welcome as funds are still needed for aforementioned therapy and for his much-hoped for full recovery.

Healthcare is quite expensive here in the Philippines, and it's a real struggle to pay for such as an artist. Fortunately, there is a community that knows no geographical borders in giving aid to one of theirs, a solidarity founded on kindness, mutual concern and regard for humanity. We implore your support in upholding this trust for Ferdz Valencia and his family. Thank you and may the good forces be upon them and to all of you as well :)
